Summer Faith Sharing
Our Sunday faith sharing is back for the summer. We join together to pray, reflect on the Sunday readings, and discuss our faith. It is a low-key gathering and there’s no need to read in advance or join every week.
We meet each Sunday at 5 PM on the parish Zoom channel starting on July 9. All are welcome, especially first-time participants.
Thursday Book Group: Mere Christianity
The next selection of the Brownstone Brooklyn & Beyond book group will be Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis. The book is adapted from a series of radio talks that C.S. Lewis gave during World War 2. This popular introduction to Christianity covers Lewis’ argument for the existence of God and the case for the Christian faith.
The first discussion session will be on Thursday, July 13 at 7 PM via Zoom. At that session, we will discuss the beginning through Book 1. The Brownstone Brooklyn and Beyond book group meets weekly on Thursdays at 7 PM via Zoom. It is comprised of parishioners from various churches in the Brooklyn Heights/Park Slope area.
Sunday Book Discussion: The Four Winds
The next meeting of the book club will be this Sunday at 12:30 PM. We will meet in person at the rectory and on Zoom. Everyone is welcome.
